The sky grew darker and darker above the Top 14 with just a week to go. After the Stade Français, Lyon or even Clermont, it is the turn of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles and Agen to be affected by cases of Covid-19. He is a member of the staff at UBB and a player at the SUA. The friendly match between Agen and La Rochelle, scheduled for Friday, has already been canceled.

The friendly match between Union Bordeaux-Bègles and Bayonne, also scheduled for this Friday, has not yet been canceled because the positive Bordeaux is an employee who was not in direct contact with Christophe Urios' players.
